Lemon Curd Frozen Yoghurt {vegan, GF}

February 8, 2019

Who knew there were so many ways to enjoy lemon curd? Aside from the obvious – slathering it on toast… or eating it by the spoonful… there was that Lemon Lamington Layer Cake, and now this – Lemon Curd Frozen Yoghurt. I have yet another recipe up my sleeve, but will leave that until winter…

Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake

February 14, 2016

I was a teenager when I first tasted and fell in love with zucchini muffins. Muffins were not a big thing in Australia when I was a child, so it was only when I was older, and attending an international school with a largely American cohort, that I was introduced to my first muffin crush!…

Roasted Strawberry Almond Crumble {gf/df}

February 1, 2016

With all the fresh fruit in season throughout summer, it would be fair to say I’ve been a little overwhelmed… what to cook, what to share, what to feature on the blog? Cherries, peaches, or plums? Apricots, mango, or strawberries? Yes, how about strawberries? Strawberries are awesome, not least because you can get them year round.…

Sweet Spiced Apricot & Yoghurt Icy Poles

January 13, 2016

Hard to believe, but it will be Sweet Tucker‘s 10th birthday in July this year! At first this space was designed to be a travel log, then an online journal, and now finally a recipe blog. In the first few years of posting recipes, I would sometimes only make things once before taking photos and uploading them.…

Corn Fritters {gluten-free + dairy-free}

May 15, 2015

Often on a Monday, the toddler and I do the grocery shopping, visiting the library on the way. He charms the socks off all the elderly ladies we see, and holds the list for me while I browse. We have a bunch of local shops, including post office, fruit and vegetable shop, pharmacy, butcher and…

Raspberry & Coconut Icy Poles

February 21, 2015

I made my first ever batch of homemade coconut ice cream the other day. It was creamy, sweet and refreshing, but I couldn’t help wondering why it tasted so familiar. Then I remembered. My mother had made coconut ice cream regularly when we were children, growing up in the steamy tropical lowlands of Papua New…

Classic Zucchini Slice

January 17, 2015

I’ve heard that if you plant a zucchini plant or two, you are inevitably inundated with mountains of the fruit once summer hits and they get ripe. I’ve heard that gardeners with zucchini are desperate to give it away and find recipes they can make with it. So here you are; a perfect dish to…

Healthy Homemade Chocolate Paddle Pops

January 9, 2015

Summer: translated, means: holidays + beach + ice cream, I’m sure you’ll agree. So… what’s your favourite ice cream on a stick? Mine has for a long time been one of the cheapest and simplest you can buy; the chocolate-flavoured Paddle Pop. Compared to the more expensive and indulgent chocolate covered varieties, it just seems…

Mum’s Brown Rice Salad

January 3, 2015

Summer wouldn’t be summer without heat waves, and road trips. Many a summer during university was spent at beach missions, which were a brilliant way to spend a week or so of January, but the drive there was excruciating. I made many good, lasting friendships along the way, one friend in particular whose car was…
